<\/p>\nSusanna Reid’s co-star had to step in last minute to present Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Charlotte Hawkins was instead presenting alongside Ed Balls, and the pair explained why the breakfast TV staple was absent.<\/p>\n
“She has unfortunately lost her voice,” Charlotte told ITV viewers.<\/p>\n
She went on to add: “She is here in the building with us – here she is! Susanna, how are you?”<\/p>\n
The host joined via video from another room as she replied in a very croaky voice: “I’m fine, I just can’t speak.”<\/p>\n
As Charlotte asked what had happened, Susanna admitted: “I don’t know, I don’t know whether it was the heatwave inflaming my vocal cords.<\/p>\n
“It’s funny because it was the NTAs last night, and when I got in my cab to leave, the driver said, ‘You’re the very first person to leave the NTAs. You’re obviously not partying.’<\/p>\n
“And of course, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke so there’s absolutely no reason I can understand.”<\/p>\n
